Surprise Inside Canada Day Cake a simple easy idea make this pound cake a delicious Patriotic Dessert Recipe. Family & Friends will love it.

As we head into July 1st and Canada’s 150th  Birthday, I thought a Surprise Inside Canada Day Cake would be perfect. I had the recipe all I needed to do was get it organized.

I also noticed that a fellow Canadian Food Blogger had already had this Canada Day Cake idea, her’s was a little fancier.

I have experimented with a few surprise inside Cakes but this one was the most fun. And of course considering I will be in Canada this July 1st makes it even more special.

I noticed a lot of people when making one of these cakes they make two mixes, but I only did one and removed a couple of cups for the coloured leaf.

I also used my Mom’s pound cake recipe which is really delicious, and a simple thick vanilla glaze as the topping.

I actually made this Canada Day Cake twice, the first time I placed the cut out leaves on some cake batter in the loaf pan and the leaves rose to the top, the second time I placed the leaves on the bottom of the loaf pan without batter and it worked perfectly.

Left over cake crumbs make the perfect Crumb Topping.

However you plan on spending your Canada Day I hope you have a Wonderful Day with friends and family. And eat well of course. Enjoy!
